Seks andre franske gisler som er fange hos Al Qaida-tilknyttede grupper risikerer å bli drept etter at Frankrike intervenerte i Mali og forsøkte å befri et gissel i Somalia.

In a separate threat, another Malian militant group, known as Ansar Dine or Party of the Faithul, said the French military intervention in Mali put other French hostages at risk.

“There are consequences, not only for French hostages, but also for all French citizens wherever they find themselves in the Muslim world,” said Sanda Ould Boumama, an Ansar Dine spokesman.

“Francois Hollande seems to wish the death of the hostages. He has chosen the war solution so that the hostages will be killed rather than negotiate.”
